Scuba Diving

Scuba diving occupied many years of my life, from the moment I visited The Florida Keys in 1976 and was fascinated by the explosion of life under the waters off Marathon Key. By 1980, I had begun diving off the coast of Isla Mujeres, which was then a deserted island and completed my Instructors Certification in January off the coast of Vancouver Island. Since then, I have logged over 3000 dives.

One of my proudest accomplishments was completing my Master Scuba Diver Trainer’s Certificate and leading the World Wildlife Fund‘s Board of Directors on diving tours in Belize in an effort to educate the board and secure funding for offshore moorings. I also partnered with Dr. Andrea Marshall, Co-Founder of the Marine Megafauna Foundation in Mozambique to brand and build their first website and later, helped developed her Queen of the Mantas website, for which she is internationally know in Conservation.
